With few exceptions, the military staff car is an ordinary motor car in war paint. This book focuses primarily on the two World Wars, takes a careful look at the years between the wars and briefly surveys the post-war scene. Developments in Great Britain form the main theme, but comparisons are made with events in other countries. Some of the more unusual types that loosely qualify as staff cars are included and many of the photographs have not been published before.
